Resources for Great and Small Series
Summer is a great time to enjoy the beauty and majesty of God's creation. But the summertime pace can be frantic. This year, let's have a slow summer. Let's enjoy nature. Let's move our bodies. Let's adjust our schedules. Let's reset our priorities. Let's have a slow summer.

This 6 week sermon series will follow the Great and Small Guide to the Most Okayest Summer Ever by the Salt Project. Click here for the booklet, which is full of ideas, activities, and conversation topics for people of all ages.

To find even more slow summer activity suggestions, click here for the Find Your Slow Summer guide.

There's also music! Click here for the Summer Series playlist.

Some print copies of the booklets will be available at the church on Sunday morning.

Let's celebrate a slow summer!
